I don't see why he wouldn't have.
Bottom line is, these people cared about the gorilla way more than any of us, and understand his behaviorism way more than any of us. I'm sure if there was anything else they could have done to preserve his life without furthering endangering the little boy, they would have. It's silly to see people completely removed from the situation who don't know anything about gorillas and who didn't even love that one, saying things like "well, they should have done such and such instead...."
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
